Cornell Families-
Early this morning, the Cornell School District received some very sad news. Ms. Edie Shoecraft, one of our elementary secretaries, passed away from health complications. This was sudden news and our Cornell family is heartbroken from Ms. Edie’s passing.
The Cornell School District currently has grief counselors on hand to help any student and staff member who is struggling with this news. We will have grief counselors on hand the remainder of the week as well, and if any family needs to reach out about additional services please contact the high school guidance office or elementary guidance office to discuss. Contact information is below.
Cornell School District is a very close knit group and community, and something like this has a deep impact on a great number of people. Some students only knew Ms. Edie for a short amount of time, others knew her for over a decade, but she truly loved the Cornell School District and the community. She will be missed greatly.
Please take some time this afternoon or evening to check in on your child(ren). They may just need some reassurance, they may just need to talk a little bit, and they may need some additional help. If that is the case please let us know. Thank you for your understanding, and we are thinking of Ms. Edie and her family at this time.
